Circuit Description

This diagnostic test checks for 24X signal at a logic high condition. The fault could be induced by the failure of either crankshaft position (CKP) A or B sensor input signal to the ignition control module (ICM).

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step is checking for a faulty crank A sensor or circuit failure.

    2.

  2. This step is checking for a faulty crank B sensor or circuit failure.

    3.

  3. To ensure acuurate voltage readings, connect the DMM to the sensor before recording the Peak Min Max voltage.

    4.

  4. To ensure acuurate voltage readings, connect the DMM to the sensor before recording the Peak Min Max voltage.

    5.

  5. A diagnostic jumper can be created with the terminals supplied in the J 38125-A terminal repair kit. Assemble the jumpers and terminals and cover the exposed terminals with heat shrink tubing. Do not cover the spade of the male terminals.
